NIDA Poll Asks: Is Thai PBS a Public Media Outlet Independent of the State and Capital?
Published
The National Institute of Development Administration Poll, or NIDA Poll, has released the results of a survey titled "Thai PBS: Public Media?" concerning the independence of Thai PBS from domination by the state and business interests.
The survey was conducted between 28 and 30 October 2569 (2026), collecting data from members of the public aged 18 and over. Respondents came from all regions of the country and had diverse educational backgrounds and occupations. The survey results therefore reflect the views of many groups in society.
The survey found that 37.32 percent of respondents believe it is "absolutely impossible" for Thai PBS to be independent of domination by the state and capital. This view is one part of the survey results, which show that the public still holds differing opinions about the independence of this public media organization.
The independence of public media has been a continuing issue of public interest, as Thai PBS plays a role in providing information to the public. The survey results may therefore serve as important data for discussion about the future of public media in Thailand.
